Johansen fired three shots on net, levied one hit and won 12 of 18 faceoffs over 15:39 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
Johansen opens the season as the second-line center, attempting to fill a void created when Nazem Kadri left in free agency following the 2021-22 season. He was also brought on to help Colorado at the faceoff circle, where the team ranked 28th last season with a 46.7 winning percentage. The second line was shutout on the scoresheet, but Johansen did his part at the dot while also working on the first-unit power play -- he logged 3:54 of ice time with the man advantage versus LA.
